Four of 12 boys trapped in a Thai cave for two weeks have been rescued. Each boy was escorted by two trained divers as they navigated four kilometres of submerged caves to reach safety. The four saved soccer players were sent directly to a local hospital to receive medical treatment.

Rescue operations have now ceased and are expected to resume on Monday, where the rest of the team including some weaker players and others as young as 11 are preparing to make the risky journey to safety. Rescuing the remaining team members could take between three and four days however, this is yet to be confirmed by officials.

The 12 boys and their 25-year-old soccer coach were discovered by two British divers nine days after they went missing on July 26. Efforts to rescue to the boys have involved over 90 international and Thai divers and emergency crews. One former Thai navy SEAL lost his life due to lack of oxygen attempting to return from the cave after dropping supplies to the team.
